Does anyone have experience with a diamond shape 40 meter 4 sqr using 1/2
wave dipoles....I am putting one up this week and would like any input- I am
using a 65 foot tower and will be phasing them using a Comtek Hybred coupler-
Does it make any sense to add radials to the base of the tower??? How much
did your resonant point jump? I have been told radials can help and that the
resonant point jump is minimal with this design- Any suggestions are welcomed-
